Great review I actually just bought my JBL CHARGE 5 today my first one ever & I love it 😻

Good review covering most of the info I wanted. I,ll be staying with my Charge 4. The point about not having a minijack on the 5 is very important for those occasions when bluetooth cannot be established such as my "bad buy" Roberts Stream 94i. Will not connect to my Charge 4 at all despite updated software on both yet the Charge 4 connects to my iPad Air2 easily. With the Roberts I use a cable and voila, there it is. Wired connections still very relevant in the 21st century

yeah

Yeah I also agree with you. JBL shouldn't end or cut the party boost connectivity to lower version rather upgrading the software, the speaker and maybe wireless charging.

Some clarification about the switch between speaker layouts between the charge series: the charge 3 used 2 small drivers next to each other under the grill, and they played in stereo. Jbl did away with the stereo on it for one reason, the drivers are right next to each other and the treble was not great on the charge 3, so the stereo did not do much. For this reason, JBL used a larger single driver in the charge 4. Bass was improved a lot, and treble a little. With the charge 5, they added a second driver again. This does not mean the speaker runs in stereo, because the new driver serves a new purpose. It is a tweeter, a device designed only to produce treble, as seen in the Xtreme series. This will make the sound clearer, which I personally think has been an issue since the charge 2! (First JBL charge’s treble was okay, but suffered a bit with bass.)

@@FullForce1972 That’s not what my experience is with mine. If yours sounds blown, you might want to return it. One thing JBL does in these small speakers, is they have to boost the bass at low volume and reduce the amount of bass as you turn up the volume, because the small speakers inside really don’t have the capacity to make really loud bass. This means it might sound a bit harsh at high volume. However, it does not sound scratchy or like it’s blown to my ears, and I listen mostly quite a bit over half volume with these.

They should just smash all e ports toghether. USB C is capable of neing both power in and out, as well as audio in. Also why not make it possible to connect speakers using a wire, allowing for older JBL speakers to connect with newer once? Shouldnt be that hard? I bet you already could get a third party device allowing just this (in stereo).

The CHARGE series is usually noticeably heavier and larger than the FLIP lineup- still completely manageable in 1 hand (especially the CHARGE3 which is pretty small), but not the best for holding while walking a long trail or something, but still very portable. Some will say that the CHARGE is a “sweet spot”, with some of the sound of the XTREME and some of the portability of the FLIP, but others will say it’s too bulky, without the serious sound and the shoulder strap of the XTREME, nor the great portability of the FLIP. In the end, it’s up to personal preference- you do you! :)
